CCTV images have been released as part of a police investigation into a boat which was vandalised in Staines last month.

The incident on Saturday, May 31 occurred at Church Island when damage estimated at £300 was caused to a motorcruiser moored behind a house.

One member of a group of young boys was believed to have fired a missile from a small catapult at the cream-coloured boat.

Windows at the front and side of the boat were smashed, with the group then running off in the direction of Lammas Park.

The three suspects were all described as white males aged about 14.

"Worrying incident"

The teenager suspected of firing the catapult was wearing a blue T-shirt, while another had a pink T-shirt on with some writing on it. The third wore a white T-shirt and was carrying a grey record bag with a black strap.

Pc James Vernon said: “This was a worrying incident which could easily have been much more serious.

“Fortunately no-one was injured but the suspects who committed this offence did not care about the safety of others when they carried out this mindless attack.

“Given the time of day and the quality of images I’m sure someone will be able to identify them.”
